4ed without sacred cows...but we don't know which, so this turns to a basic rules discussions.

That's business. But it is not like you can't have years of fun with just core books. Yes, that is the appeal of character points, but ultimately you have to introduce new mechanic to stop players "picking cherries". They basically suffer from other extreme. That is actually good idea. My...

True, but... True, but that is hardly sacred cow. It is not realistic, but I would not call it stupid. The game works surprisingly well. Again not exactly sacred cows, and not really large problem. The point buy system you suggest is appealing at first, but not so good in actual play. In GURPS...

Funny, this is straight from Slavic mythology. Underworld might have other connotations, but it is the only mythologicaly correct name.

Yes, I think I understand it. But I (just like anybody) hated racial level limits when it was there. I have little use for stereotypes of this type. Halflings are stereotypicaly rogues because they are good at it and so on; that is pretty sufficient. As I already hinted if you simply ignore it...

I did this sort of thing as a DM in some deep past. Personally I have no problem with that, but it probably depends much on the players, how they will take it. I see two basic ways how that could happen: 1. BBEG to PCs: "I am going but you guys are going with me!" 2. PCs to BBEG: "We are...

For me it is a no-brainer: any I don't get the concept of favoured class at all; what is the purpose of it? It certainly cannot be game balance.

My first thought was that it is overpowered. But apparently I am not alone. Also, the name seems wrong; it should be swapped with thaumaturgist...?

It is a simple question: what is the composition (classes) of your party and do you consider it balanced? I'm thinking about this: On the one hand party that has one of each is probably stronger and niche protection works. But on the other hand for purely roleplaying reasons: not every player...

Uh.....yes :heh: ......Anyway, it used to be "you vs demons", I don't remember any celestials either. At least paladin as a core class is doing a heroic last stand. I hope those guys at Necromancer games are taking notes. I want to restate that good and evil are antagonistic, but not symetric...

The problem with detect evil is that you can discover traitors and people who want to trick you too easily. As for mounted combat, I never tried it and it doesn't look too powerful considering the number of feats. That you cannot use it underground is not such a big problem. In real life...

In general I like paladin. I encountered "lawful stupid" stereotype only on internet, so they should probably rewrite that part. Paladin cannot force his code of honor on other people, he is supposed to act as an *example* to them. That is why he has high charisma (charisma is paladin's #1...

I have actualy done exactly that! Of course, it helped that I was not paladin, but chaotic good, so I was determined to "convince "other party members at swordpoint. But they have given up quickly. I don't understand why church should have a monopoly on doing this kind of things, you don't have...

I have not roleplayed for some time, but I have developed a campaign very similar to your ideas that was inspired by Slavic mythology and dark ages Europe (but central Europe, not Russia). I have GURPS Russia, and have seen previews of similar books, already mentioned in this thread. I think...

So it works after all, I am relieved, but the clock is way off...

Hi I hope I will be able to post I had some problems with system logging me out. I have been playing roleplaying games for quite some time, althought not now and usually not D&D. However, there is no doubt, that this is the best roleplaying forum on the net and I simply cannot be missing here.
